There are different ways you can do this .If you are doing it with ASP.NET I would suggest you web-services. People using API can pass username and encoded password over network .Share a secret key with the client for encoding passwords.

By passing a username and a hashed password of the user to method u can authenticate. The method queries the database to see if a row exists that contains both the username and the password. If a row is found, the user is authenticated, return true. Otherwise, we’ve been given incorrect credentials, and a false is returned.
If you need to return a stream you can build the stream by reading some file Using File.IO StreamReader and return it as a response.
